the US Dax is wary of Dijon
The Dacquois will tend to preserve their invincibility at home against the revenge Burgundians
The weekends go by and still no away victory for the Dacquois. As in Suresnes and Blagnac, they were not far from validating a second success in a row (20-18) but were satisfied with a defensive bonus.
“I don’t really like the approximation. But it’s true that we still lack this little trick on a touch, a launch or a game with the foot to change the match. Maybe also the mood is a bit different between home games and those away from our bases. Rugby is a combat sport, if you have a little less desire or you are a little less aggressive than the opponent, it pays off ”, admits the forwards coach, Manu Maignien, again headed by Jack Isaac after a resumption of marks started at the beginning of the week.
The reception of Dijon, eleventh with a series of five games without a win, the last at home against Cognac (40-42), appears to be another reception to be won, obviously, with the bonus, if possible. “Before announcing bonuses, we will play while respecting and being wary of our opponent. Dijon plays very well on the ball, comes with revenge and has changed strategy a bit. It’s up to us to ensure the fundamentals and to try to deprive of ammunition as much as possible to take the reins of the match. It is just unthinkable to lose.
